stat_density_2d errors when trying to use with facet_wrap

827 views Asked by At

I'm trying to plot a variable (rd2200w) vs elevation (Z). I'm also trying to overlay and fill density contours. This works great for the whole dataset. When I try to facet by another variable I run into errors. I've read of similar issues here (https://github.com/tidyverse/ggplot2/issues/3875), and am of the understanding the issue may be that the statistic is calculated on the whole dataset and then cannot be drawn on the subsets that each panel reflects? I clearly don't fully understand and am hoping someone can help with a facet wrap solution?

My dataset is posted below (sorry for the length, I don't know how else to do it!?)

Code:

dat <- read_csv("10_Source files/dat.csv")
dat$Alteration_Domain <- factor(dat$Alteration_Domain, levels = c("a","b","c","d","e","f"))

ggplot(dat, mapping = aes(y = Z, x = rd2200w))+
                    stat_density_2d(aes(alpha = ..level..), geom = "polygon", show.legend = FALSE)+                 
                    stat_density_2d(geom = "contour", color = "black", alpha = .25, show.legend = FALSE)+
                    scale_alpha(range = c(0.05,0.2))+
                    geom_point(aes(color = Alteration_Domain, shape = Alteration_Domain), alpha =0.5, size = 3)+
                    scale_shape_manual(values=c(0,15,1,16,5,18))+
                    scale_color_manual(values=c("green4","green4","gray1","gray1","royalblue1","royalblue1"))+
                    #facet_wrap(~Alteration_Domain)+
                    labs(x="rd_rd2200w_wvl", y="Elevation",title = "Z vs rd2200w (AlOH); No Int from rdmin1group or rdmin2group or rdmin3group", hjust = .5)+
                    stat_quadrant_counts(quadrants = 0L, label.x = "right", 
                        aes(label = sprintf("%i observations", stat(count))))+
                    guides(colour = FALSE, alpha = FALSE)+
                    theme_bw(base_size = 20)

This produces the following plot which is great: enter image description here

When I uncomment out the facet_wrap line in the code above I get the below image which is appropriately faceted but with no contours:

enter image description here

And the following warnings:

enter image description here

I'm hoping to achieve the faceted version with contouring in the same style as the first image on every facet.

I'm stumbling through learning R for analysis of my data and would appreciate any help. Also, if there's a better way to post a data example, I'd be happy to.

Thanks for your time!

In the latest version of ggplot there is the option to use geom_density_2d_filled. You can set the number of bins at which to break the contours, though the step size is fixed across groups or facets. Inevitably because of the disparity in number of points in each facet, the number of contour lines will vary so much that the high density plots look messy if the low density plots look good, and the low density plots look empty if the high density facets look good.

Personally, I would lose the contour lines and use just the alpha density fill. This would give the following plot:

library(ggplot2)
library(ggpmisc)

ggplot(dat, aes(y = Z, x = rd2200w)) +
  geom_density2d_filled(aes(alpha = as.numeric(..nlevel..),
                            fill  = Alteration_Domain), 
                        bins = 1000) +
  geom_point() +
  scale_alpha(range = c(0.05,0.5)) +
  scale_fill_manual(values = rep(c("green4", "gray1", "royalblue1"), each = 2)) +

Which I think is just as informative but easier on the eye.

It seems like this isn't the correct application of facet_wrap, so I've made the plot I'm after by making a loop that splits the datasets and makes each plot individually and then I've combined them into a grid plot at the end.

dat <- read_csv("10_Source files/dat.csv")
dat$Alteration_Domain <- factor(dat$Alteration_Domain, levels = 
c("a","b","c","d","e","f"))

altdom <- levels(dat$Alteration_Domain)
shape <- c(0,15,1,16,5,18)
color <- c("green4","green4","gray1","gray1","royalblue1","royalblue1")

L <- list()

for(i in seq_along(altdom)){

dat1 <- dat %>%
filter(Alteration_Domain == altdom[i])

xmin <- min(dat1$rd2200w) ; xmax <- max(dat1$rd2200w)
ymin <- min(dat1$Z) ; ymax <- max(dat1$Z)
    
L[[i]] <- ggplot(dat1, mapping = aes(y = Z, x = rd2200w))+
                    stat_density_2d(aes(alpha = ..level..), geom = "polygon", show.legend = FALSE)+                 
                    stat_density_2d(geom = "contour", color = "black", alpha = .25, show.legend = FALSE)+
                    scale_alpha(range = c(0.05,0.2))+
                    geom_point(aes(color = Alteration_Domain, shape = Alteration_Domain), alpha =0.5, size = 3, show.legend = FALSE)+
                    scale_shape_manual(values= shape[i])+
                    scale_color_manual(values=color[i])+
                    labs(title = paste(altdom[i]))+
                    stat_quadrant_counts(quadrants = 0L, label.x = "right", 
                        aes(label = sprintf("%i observations", stat(count))))+
                    guides(colour = FALSE, alpha = FALSE)+
                    theme_bw(base_size = 20)+
                    theme(axis.title = element_blank(), plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5,size = 20))+
                    scale_x_continuous(limits = c(xmin-10,xmax+10)) + 
                    scale_y_continuous(limits = c(ymin-50,ymax+50)) +
                    coord_cartesian(xlim = c(xmin,xmax), ylim = c(ymin,ymax))
                    
                    }
                    
y.grob <- textGrob("Elevation", gp=gpar(fontsize=20), rot=90)
x.grob <- textGrob("rd_2200_wvl", gp=gpar(fontsize=20))
    
####    make plot grid
p7 <- plot_grid(L[[1]],L[[2]],L[[3]],L[[4]],L[[5]],L[[6]],align = "hv",nrow = 2, axis = "l")

grid.arrange(arrangeGrob(p7, left = y.grob, bottom = x.grob))

Which produces: enter image description here

This serves my purposes for now, thanks everyone for taking a look and helping!
